ON THE DAY WHEN TIME [JAN. 21] ARRIVED WITH SAM MITCHELL'S LETTER, SAYING THE OREGONIAN ENGAGES IN REACTIONARY SNIPING, THE OREGONIAN'S LEADING EDITORIAL WAS AN UNQUALIFIED ENDORSEMENT OF ROOSEVELT'S SOCIAL SECURITY PROGRAM. WHEN THE OREGONIAN FIGHTS IT ATTACKS, DOES NOT SNIPE. AS FOR MITCHELL'S NOTION ABOUT WANING PRESTIGE, THE BEST TEST IS CIRCULATION, WHICH WITH US HAS GROWN STEADILY FROM A DEPRESSION...
